The 5-year-old girl rushed to Guam Memorial Hospital last Friday from the Hilton Guam Resort & Spa died from a near-drowning, according Dr. Aurelio Espinola, chief medical examiner.

Espinola said the girl, Myeong Won Jang, was a tourist.

“When I say near drowning, she drowned, but she did not die right away,” Espinola said.

Emergency officials were called to the Tumon hotel for a possible drowning at about 2:38 p.m. Friday.

Hotel staff conducted CPR on the girl, and when Guam Fire Department medics arrived at about 2:43 p.m., they continued to perform CPR en route to the Guam Memorial Hospital, according to Cherika Chargualaf, acting GFD spokeswoman.

The girl was visiting the island with her family, according to the Guam Visitors Bureau.

The Guam Visitors Bureau provided translation and travel assistance to the family via its Korean Concierge Pilot Program.

Jang's death marked the eighth water-related fatality of the year. Another tourist, 90-year-old Shang-Yun Wu drowned in Tumon on Aug. 9.
